Chapter 42: A Storm Is Brewing
Page (1/3)
Zhao Gongming arrived at the Shang army’s main camp. After meeting Grand Preceptor Wen and hearing what had happened to the Ten Heavenly Lords, he flew into a rage, mounted his black tiger, and headed for the outskirts of Xiqi City to demand that Jiang Ziya come out and answer for himself.
Quan Jingyun simply refused to believe that the middle-aged man belonged to the Feng family, and the rest of the Quan family believed it even less.
The sudden ringing of his phone caught him completely off guard, and he nearly dropped it. When he saw the two large characters flashing on the screen, he instinctively held his breath, while his heart pounded relentlessly.
The entire massage parlor had effectively been sealed off. The guards outside would not receive word for some time, so they could not get in just yet.
“Great Sage, do not be vexed. If you wish to borrow the true fan, you must first find the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven, the Bull Demon King!” the local earth deity said with a smile.
His arms cartel was based in Country B, and he paid more than half of the country’s taxes. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he controlled the lifeblood of Country B’s economy. He also held a certain degree of influence in administrative and military affairs. Naturally, the president had granted him a position of considerable prestige as well.
Lu Kang wore a cold smile. He had not wanted to bother with such nonsense, but he could not stand watching someone put on an act of mysticism right in front of him.
The Celestial Worthy of Primordial Beginning immediately ordered the Antarctic Immortal Elder to prepare the Agarwood Carriage. The Venerable Elder mounted his Black-Horned Azure Bull, while the Lantern-Burning Ancient Buddha led the way. Mist swirled everywhere, strange fragrances filled the air, and crimson clouds spread across the sky as they proceeded to the formation before the Yellow River.
It was not a matter of a stepmother abusing her stepson. With Commander Lu standing where he did, Wang Xinyue would never dare entertain such thoughts.
Fortunately, Zhou Zhilan was no longer anywhere in sight. She should have already escaped from the Forest Residence.
The others had no clear understanding of what it meant to draw a bow requiring five hundred jin of strength. Nan Wuxiang, however, had once served in the army and knew that an archer capable of such power was one in a thousand. Even so, he had already found a way to improve the quality of the archers.
He wore a lion-crested helmet with tassels, his face painted vermilion, two blue-green brows arched above his eyes, and his mouth gaped like a basin of blood. Beneath his chin grew a short beard resembling the roots of bamboo. He was clad in red copper chainmail, mounted on a dusky crimson horse, and wielded a pair of copper hammers.
At that thought, her heart suddenly began to twist with pain. Xue Nai could feel droplets, alternately cold and warm, sliding continuously down her cheeks. She suddenly felt grateful for the rain, for it allowed her to mistake her tears for raindrops, as though she had never cried at all.
This was an exceedingly simple thing to accomplish, yet to many human empires, it was something of immeasurable value.

What the emperor of the Bondia Empire found most astonishing was that this Mo Qiankun actually wanted him to return. How could an emperor possibly accept such a demand? Within his empire, he was the one whose word was law.
During the battle, everyone had long since discovered that Star Venerable had a weakness: he relied far too heavily on the art of blood sacrifice and had never truly made use of the fusion power of the Fusion Emperor. That was why he had been disrupted by Luolong.
If someone else communicated with the Sacred Emperor through the Sacred Emperor’s Dharma Form, they would naturally receive no response, because that was equivalent to confessing before the Sacred Emperor. Wu Enqi, however, was different. He had known the Sacred Emperor for a long time, and he had no need to confess before him.
After taking the pill, Li Yuyun recovered a little spiritual power and soul force, and her former weakness had eased somewhat. At the very least, she no longer needed anyone to support her.
To facilitate the use of pistols, Li Yu also placed an order with the leatherworkers, asking them to make belts, cartridge pouches, and powder bags.
Sure enough, just as his blade was about to strike the top of Li Ping’an’s head, Li Ping’an raised the long sword in both hands. In the next instant, he viciously thrust it toward the Great Tengu’s wrist.
It was a classic tale of a scoundrel. The heroine was named Yue Niang. She had secretly met Zhou Lang and become pregnant, but Zhou Lang did not want the child and had no intention of marrying her.
The Corpse Teacher nodded in satisfaction, and the White Dragon also let out a sigh of relief before smiling at the corpse.
Ye Ying glanced at Fu Yuqi before looking away, turning his gaze instead toward Pierre, who stood beside her. A trace of astonishment appeared in his eyes.
He therefore ordered Xu Dexun to take five thousand marines from Tanzhou, join up with another two thousand naval troops at Xiangyin, and proceed directly to the mouth of the Jing River to rendezvous with Qin Yanhui.
The demons beneath the earth grew stronger with each rank. Lilith, who served beneath the Demon King, was one of the ten most powerful demons.
Nanfeng had not arranged for another employee to take over Qiao Sui’s work. Qiao Sui knew that Gu Rong was deliberately obstructing her.
But why had killing the Mutated Bishop yielded only eleven thousand world-simulation points as a reward?
Yun Tianqing and Pierre nodded obediently, like two perfectly behaved children, their attitudes exceedingly respectful.

“What a powerful energy fluctuation! He seems to have already broken through the sixth level of the Mortal Body. In fact, an energy fluctuation of this magnitude is already enough to rival someone who has half-stepped into the Spirit Body realm.” Bing’s voice appeared in Xia Bing’s mind.
The Jiang family was not well-off. They only had meat during festivals, so how had Jiang Chuxia managed to bring out so much of it?
Since he could not find a gap in the air, he decided to create one himself. In the end, he successfully devised a method that had never existed before.
Just as Jin e767 was wondering why he could not track down Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei’s figure appeared halfway up a large tree, his entire body trembling violently.
Battle tattoos were far more than simple tattoos. Orcish battle tattoos were different from human tattoos; they could grant orcs extraordinary physical strength.
However, the school’s gossip club was no pushover. Their mouths ran like runaway trains, and after a single class, there was probably no one who did not know the story of Shui Xiaoxing and Su Xin.
Then a figure could be seen walking toward the high platform. He was a middle-aged man holding an entrance token, his face expressionless.
After Wei Ling raised the price to that level, she deliberately cast a contemptuous glance at Li Feng. Her intention was to make him continue bidding. The moment he raised the price again, Wei Ling would abandon the contest without hesitation.
The Young Master of the Guo family pointed at Chu Feng’s nose and spoke. He himself had no intention of continuing the attack.
How could Wu Yanjiu possibly defeat three experts from the Wu family by himself? The matter would certainly escalate, and once that happened, it would become impossible to control. If things went badly, Wu Yanjui’s life might even be lost within the Wu family. Thus, he would not choose the worst course of action. He could only use the second method: quietly leave the main hall.
